Hidden Treasures

Edinburgh Museums present a range of opportunities to explore our reserve collections as part of the Hidden Treasures campaign. Tour our main Collection Centre, explore how we use our collections as part of our city-wide outreach programme, and learn how best to care for your own treasures. Also, get a rare view inside of one of Edinburgh’s hidden gems, the recently restored St Bernard’s Well, part of the City Monument Estate cared for by the museum service.
